Labor Day Weekend brings the celebration of Milly and Ronnie's anniversary, so the entire Cox family was invited out to the farm for grilling and an afternoon of relaxing and celebrating Grandpa and Grandma Cox's life together. Hugh and Marceline had discussed telling her family and decided that this would be a perfect opportunity to share the news of their engagement. Marceline has not worn her ring since she has been back, as she has not wanted to accidentally give anything away to customers or around town, if anyone was looking.

They arrived around the time that had been given them with several salads that Hugh had put together and a ring on Marceline's finger that had not existed there before. In typical Marceline fashion, she went to grab a beer and used this as an opportunity to show off that ring, turning to the person nearest her, and announcing off-handedly: "So I'm engaged now."

The moment they arrived, Grandma Cox's eyes zeroed in on the engagement ring because she has discreetly been checking Marce's hand for AWHILE now. Her eyes bugged a little, but then she quickly glanced away in any direction but the engagement ring and got a little too enthusiastic about Hugh's salads. It was a huge relief to her that she did not have to wait long for the announcement, and she spilled one of Hugh's salads, dropping it on the table to go hug Marceline. She hugged Marceline and then she hugged Hugh. Her eyes were a little teary because now ALL her granddaughters have found their Ronald. She thought this was the best possible day they could have made the announcement and is already plotting their wedding quilt. Once the announcement and reactions were over, Milly thought this had become the perfect time to bust out the good liquor, add some music and dancing, and make this an even bigger celebration.

Having talked to Hugh earlier, Ronnie was not surprised by this announcement, but was glad that it was now official, and he took some cigars out after the announcement to congratulate them. Clea was super happy and supportive of her sister's engagement.

Today at around 11:30 a.m., MARCELINE COX and HUGH CHRISTIAN received frantic phone calls from Milly Cox. If they did not answer, she would leave them voicemails to CALL HER BACK IMMEDIATELY. IT IS AN EMERGENCY.

If they picked up, they would have received the message that Milly is completely out of ARNICA!! She desperately needs to create an ointment for one of the horses, but Milly's arnica supply has completely run out. She cannot make the remedy without it. Milly knows where there is some growing in the woods, but she's so swamped that she cannot go out and get it herself. IT IS AN EMERGENCY! PLEASE DROP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND HELP. SHE CAN GIVE YOU DIRECTIONS TO GET THERE. IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE AN HOUR.

If they followed Milly's directions to the spot in the woods where the arnica grows, instead of finding Milly's herbs, they'd come to a nice clearing. A big quilt has been spread across the ground and there's a picnic basket stuffed with food and a music player nestled on top of it.

Milly Cox was up and feeding the pigs when she saw the smoke in Cedarwood. Milly ran to her house. After making sure the fire department was already aware, Milly started a phone tree (if you want to say Milly called your character, feel free!). At around 4:25 a.m., Milly arrived on the scene in her truck with food, water, blankets, bandages, people (if you'd have liked Milly to pick you up or have brought you) and burn remedies to see what she could do to help.

When talking to a responder on the scene, she learned that HUNTER TYLER had run off into the woods after being treated for his injuries. After quickly enlisting MARCELINE COX to take Ty's dogs to the Cox farm, Milly organized a SEARCH PARTY [MAY RYAN, ABIGAIL WATSON, BLAZE WOLFE, MATT WOLFE, WYNNIE LLEWELLYN, CYNTHIA NOVAK, GUS ARQUETTE JOY LLEWELLYN](feel free to add your characters to this!) to look for Hunter Tyler in the woods while the fire department continued to work on putting out the house.

HUNTER TYLER was eventually found up in a tree by the search party. Milly Cox and Abigail Watson managed to talk him down out of the tree. She brought him back to Cox Farm with her. She helped him get cleaned up, found some of Seb's clothes for him, and put him in Marceline's old room with his dogs.

Today, Milly Cox tried to buy ALL THE MASON JARS IN TOWN.

She went to every store in Fall City that could possibly carry mason jars and she bought all the mason jars she could find, and even asked if there were any in the back.

If you were looking for a mason jar after 12 pm today, you may have been out of luck. She is not sorry.

One month until Fall! You know what that means! It's time to start CLUE ASSASSIN.


HOW TO PLAY

1. If you are playing, you will be contacted in secret with your first target. It will include your victim (could be any person in Fall City), your murder weapon (could be any object), and your location (could be anywhere in Fall City).


2. Once you have your target, all you have to do is get your victim alone at that location with the murder weapon either on your person or within a six foot radius of the victim. If you succeed, your victim is "dead," and you will be able to turn them in for your next target.


3. Whoever kills the most people by the end of September wins!

You can comment here or otherwise contact me if you're playing. Any age is welcome, so watch out for your children. The winner will get a handmade quilt to commemorate their kills.
